Bangor continue to apply pressure on the Portadown defence, with Michael Morgan unleashing a 30-yard effort that forces Aaron McCarey into action.

The Portadown goalkeeper then makes a vital goal-line clearance from the resulting corner, denying Lewis Harrison's headed effort.

The goal has given Glentoran a real lift.

I think with Quinn, he was facing his goal, could he have turned away? It happened so quick, though.

Corey Smith has been a real livewire for Dungannon in this first period and he plays in Adam Glenny, whose shot is turned away by Brad Wade.

Can Dungannon get a goal to show for their dominance before the interval?

Matthew Olosunde digs out a cross from the right, Matthew Snoddy knocks it down smartly, and Danny Gibson meets it in the six-yard box, but the header sails over.

Another decent effort for the away side.

Adam Glenny is the next to test Ballymena keeper Brad Wade, but the English stopper comfortably smothers the full-back's low shot.

Carrick are beginning to enjoy a spell of possession in the Reds’ half, probing patiently without reward.

A lofted ball is eventually claimed by P.J. Morrison, but Stephen Baxter’s side are starting to commit more bodies forward.

As we tick past the half-hour mark, there is not a lot in the way of goal scoring chances for either team.

Joel Cooper flights a ball to the far post where Matthew Shevlin meets it with his head, but it's a routine save for the Crusaders goalkeeper.

It's been an entertaining opening 30 minutes here with chances for both teams.

Another Kealan Dillon free kick for Dungannon again goes inches wide of the post - this time aided by a deflection along the way.

Coleraine could and should be ahead.

Joel Cooper is released by a first-time ball from Dylan Boyle and bears down on goal, coming in from the left.

With Matthew Shevlin and James Akinunde unmarked and calling for the ball in front of goal, Cooper elects to go himself but is denied by a smart save from Dibaga.

His team-mates won't be happy with that.

Ryan McKay’s corner is nodded down by Mikey Place into the path of Danny Gibson, who pounces from close range.

The striker's effort is too close to PJ Morrison, and the Reds keeper gathers gratefully. Easily the Gers' best chance so far.

As you would expect, Coleraine have had most of the possession but, to their credit, Crusaders have been set-up really well.

They are pressing and that is causing Coleraine to make mistakes.

Dungannon winger Leo Alves is booked for a tackle.

It's fair to say that Irish referee Rob Hennessy hasn't endeared himself to the home support in the opening stages of this game.

Shea McGarry earns a stern word from Jim Magilton after surrendering possession twice in quick succession deep in the Cliftonville half.

The visitors will be hoping to capitalise after being awarded a corner.

Chance for Bangor as Michael Morgan pounces on a loose clearance and feeds Reece Neale, who strikes powerfully from distance to force a save from McCarey.

The Seasiders nearly capitalise from the resulting corner when McCarey fumbles the ball under pressure, but Lewis Francis can only divert the ball over the crossbar.

Another huge opportunity for the visitors.

Stewart Nixon wins the ball off Coleraine defender Levi Ives in the left-back position before slipping the ball in behind Charles Dunne for Elliot Dunlop to run on to.

From an acute angle he fizzes his shot across the face of goal with no-one following up from a Crusaders perspective, much to manager Declan Caddell's frustration.

Kealan Dillon curls a quickly-taken free kick inches wide of the post, with Ballymena keeper Brad Wade scrambling to get across his goal.

Very close to an opener for the Swifts.

From a Glentoran perspective, Hoban has had only one touch in the opening 20 minutes. They need the get him on the ball.

Glenavon are dominating possession and I have been really impressed by them.

Ben Gallagher tries to drive forward with the ball but is met by a well-timed challenge from Niall Quinn.
